Waiting for the swamp to be drained

To the editor:

Well, here we go again after all this time, Robert Peruski your letter to the paper struck a nerve in me that I’m sure you intended to do.

Your letter about Mr. Trump (now President Trump’s) executive orders, was way off base as he signs these orders without usually reading them first. He is running the country like he runs his corporation. This is the way I want it done and don’t ask why.

We need judges in our system to keep as you have said in the past these “idiot politicians” in check and now with this man in control to do things the right way, not the way he wants.

Most of our great or our great-great grandparents were immigrants coming to this great country, not to do harm or kill people but to have a better life for their families and themselves. I personally believe in background checks, or now called venting, should be done on immigrants now but I don’t think they would have stopped Timothy McVey or Terry Nichols the Oklahoma City bombers.

We have to keep watch and be very careful with this president because his next executive order may be no freedom of the press, which you know is the First Amendment. Our president makes it very clear how he feels about the media then where would you and I be.

Truthfully speaking, someone on the Mr. Trump (now President Trump’s) staff should have explained to him the hours and days required to do this very important job instead of going to his compound in Florida on Thursdays for the weekend and worrying about it when he gets back on Monday. What a waste of taxpayer dollars. Making America great again, as he said.

I could go on and on, but I won’t. I am saving that for my own campaign. I am surprised that Trump didn’t ask you to be his vice president, and maybe he did. But between the two of you, you couldn’t decide who would be the boss and who would be the apprentice.

I did hear now that he is president he asked Mike Pence where is that swamp he promised to drain. Is it the Minden City Bog or Lake Okeechobee in Florida?
